Gil yesterday morning President Grevy in
formed NJ. kouvier that he believed that
public opinion was in his favor and that he
could form new Cabinet, and that he did
not propose 10 make Il communication to
Parliament. This announcement caused
general surprise, as yesterday was the
date set for Grevy's resignation.
! When the Chamber of Deputies assem-
bled, NJ ROuvicr announced that the Pres
ident had reconsldered his decision to send
message to the Chamber containing his
resignation and therefore the Cabinet had
again resigned The announcement of the
action of the Ministry was greeted with
continued applause by the members OF the
/ Lett.
NJ. Ricard, president of the Left groups,
moved that the sitting be suspended.
| The members of the Right and Extreme
Left murmured at this proposal, and NJ
Cuneo dOrnado exclaimed, Dissolution
would be preferable"
When NJ. Rouvier left the Chamber he
proceeded to the Palace Of the Elysee aud
had conference with the President. 1t
was reported that NJ. Flourens was trying
to form a Cabinet.
The crowd in front of the Parliament
buildings numbers several thousands and
is increasing in density. Cries of "A bas
Ferry!" aud give Grevyr' are frequently
| heard. The police keep the people moving
and are now clearing the approaches to the
, Chambers
The Chamber Of Deputies took a recess
until four p. N. Great crowds surrounded
the legislative building. The Chamber
sem5led at four p. ~, but Il further recess
was taken until six O'Clock. The Senate
took a recess until three O'clock.
NJ. Paul de Roulde, leader Of the Patriotic
League, addressed portion IN front OF the
Chamber and gave the crowd give
Grevy!' and give Boulangcrn' The
crowd rejoined with cries of "a has
Grevyn' and ''Vive la Repuoliquen'
The Garde Republicalne assisted the
police to clear the whole space between
the Paais Bourbon (the Parliament build
ing) and the quays. The populace are re-
fused admission to the Paiais Bourbon.
The O.Jiciat Gazette publishes the with
drawal of the resignation of the Rouvier
Cabinet The withdrawal was made at the
request Of President Grevy.
Elght:regiments of cavalry are held in
readiness at Versailles. Wednesday and
Yesterday the streets We're placarded in
all directions with posters which were
torn down as fast as possible. These read:
PEOPLE OF PARIS.
The Republic is in danger. The Congress is
about to name Grevy's successor at Versailles.
There is monstrous conspiracy to deliver the
country to Ferry, the famine breeder-to Ferry.
the TOnquinois-to Ferry, the valet Of Bis
marck Republicans of all shades Socialists
or Revolutonaries. shall! we allow such crime
to be perpetrated? No. A thousand times no!
Blood must not flow needlessly. but we will not
recoil before any sacrifice TO save France from
being represented by the meanest Of traitors.
Citizens, let US be ready and watchful. The
Republic is in danger.
There was great excitement in the cOrri-
doris of the Chambers when NJ. Mayo,
director of La Ldnterue and ROchefOrt ue-
clared that they would begin campaign
in Grevy's favor.
Il had rather keep an old servant" ex-
claimed Rochefort, ''who robs me than to
take new one who will cut my throat
Paul de Cassagnac writes that the situa-
ton is changing from day to day, almost
from hour to hour Yesterday the Radi-
calls had chosen De Freycinct as their
champion against Ferry; to-day they base
their hopes ON FlCquet; tomorrow there
may be still another change. Strangely
enough Grevy is Floquet's uncle by mar
riage.
The Radicals are losing heart. Their
violent and revolutionary language shows
that they fear defeat on the first ballot.
Ferry will poll 80 to $40 votes. Dc Frey
cinet and FloQuet can not muster over 220,
some weaker candidate, like Sadi-Carnot
or Brisson, may control 90 or 30 votes.
Probably Ferry will lack 80 to 100 votes of
election and Floquet more. One of the
factions may become disorganized, but not
sufficiently to determine the success of the !
others.
The adjournment OF the Chamber of Dep
utes until six o'clock was the result of I.
conference between the four Republican
groups, who unanimously agreed to adopt !
an order of the day declaring that the |
Chamber, awaiting the communication
promised from the President, would ad-
journ until SIX O'Clock. When the session |
was resumed at four o'clock the order was |
submitted and met with applause from |
both the Left and the Center. 1t was car
ried by vote of 53l against3
NJ. Rouvier then returned to the Palace !
to communicate to NJ. Grevy the result of t
the vote 1t IS reported that when he in
formed NJ. Grevy that the sitting was sus-
pended, the President replied that the
Ministers having resigned, he could not be
charged with any communication to the !
Chamber.
When NJ de Roulde left the Chamber he
proceeded to his hotel, followed by large
crowd whom he harangued, calling for
cheers for NJ. Grevy. Tue only response
to his appeals were cries OF ''Abas Ferryr'
and 'Domisnio!." ''Delission De Roulde
moved toward the Senate, when the crowd
was dispersed by police. De r ,ulde, how
ever, refused to go, and was arrested and
taken to the nearest station. There he
strongly protested to the commissary
against his incarceration, saying: ''You
have no right 10 arrest me-lhe cry "A bas
Ferry is constitutional and Legal He
was released an hour later and went i'm
mediately to his Office.
A penary meeting of Republicans will
be held at Versailles Saturday morning.
NJ. Grevy begged NJ. Rouvier not TO pro-
nounce the word ''resignation" from the

because Congress ought to
be summoned Immediately on the Presi-
